That's not going to work. The command-and-do mentality in all of business has kind of been archaic. In all walks of leadership -- Lawrence Frank

BOSTON – Detroit Pistons coach Lawrence Frank called the
behavior of Mike Rice "appalling" when asked about ESPN's viral video that shows
the former Rutgers coach abusing his players physically and verbally.

Frank said there's no place for that kind of "leadership" in
basketball or anywhere else.

"If you watch that tape ... it's appalling," Frank said after the
Pistons' morning shoot around prior to tonight's game against the Boston
Celtics. "The command-and-do mentality in all of business has kind of been
archaic. In all walks of leadership.

"I just think overall, that's not going to work in any walk (of
life). In Wall Street, the NBA, NCAA, high school, college. He got fired,
right? There's consequences for your actions."

Video of Rutgers' practices show the fiery Rice throwing balls
at players – including at their heads – showing them and berating them with
off-color language.

A story by Yahoo! Sports says Frank could be a candidate to replace Rice. Frank is a New Jersey native who coached the Nets and he took a leave from the Pistons this season to return home to be with his ill wife, Susan.
